The Eredivisie has received a lot of criticism in recent years. The level would be too low, the players inefficient and tactically underwhelming. These critiques were correct. In recent years both the Dutch clubs have been underperforming in Europe, as has the national team (with the exception of Louis van Gaal’s masterstroke). Ever since has […]
After their embarrassing display against Astra Giurgiu Thursday night, West Ham were rightfully eliminated from the Europa League for the second year in succession. It topped off an uninspiring pre-season and an indifferent start to their inaugural Premier League season at their new home in Stratford. Media outlets across the country were hyping up the […]
As West Ham United move in the Olympic Stadium this summer, the club is beginning to transform into something new. A new badge – with which we bid farewell to the iconic Boleyn Castle on our chests; a farewell to historic West Ham fan traditions, such as Nathan’s Pie Mash & Eels and various pubs […]
West Ham have shown to be active this transfer window so far. Witht the likes of Nordtveit, Feghouli, Töre and Fletcher joining The Hammers, the club are still searching for their 20-goal-a-season striker. So far, they haven’t been too fortunate in their search. Being rejected by Lacazette and Batshuayi, the club are in pole-position for […]
Former Hammer and fan favourite Carlton Cole has been released by Celtic FC. After new boss and former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers joined the club, he started to reshape the squad, which included letting some players go. Besides Carlton Cole he also allowed Colin Kazim-Richards to leave the club, as well as Anthony Stokes was […]
In the aftermath of the disastrous game against Swansea City, let’s look back at four findings we learned. Our history against the Swans looked hopeful, with Andy Carroll having tormented their defence in previous clashes. Unfortunately, West Ham didn’t do so on Saturday. Swansea opened the scoring with a goal from Wayne Routledge, a born […]
After Saturday’s draw against Crystal Palace, a lot of things can be said about the performances of West Ham and referee Mark Clattenburg. The Durham-born referee showed a red card for Cheikhou Kouyaté’s challenge on Dwight Gayle. A lot of people will feel this was a harsh decision, as usually only a yellow card will […]
With the move to the Olympic Stadium, Mark Noble believes West ham are drawing closer to join the Premier League elite. Under Slaven Bilic the Hammers have performed above average, sitting in 5th place with eight games to go. Five of which are home games, which will ensure a full-hearted performance from the East London […]
Manuel Lanzini has signed a four-year deal with West Ham United. The 23-year-old completed the move from UAE side Al Jazira to East London. West Ham have, as reported by The Guardian , paid £9million for the Argentinian. The news was reported by son of co-owner David Sullivan, Jack Sullivan: Twitter: Lanzini is a WHU […]
Cheikhou Kouyaté agreed to a contract extension with West Ham late last week, which shows that manager Slaven Bilic and the powers-that-be at the club are keen to tie down their star men after such a good season for the club. When an unfancied team does well – and despite the optimism in East London […]
West Ham are right in the mix for a Champions League place after they came from 2-0 against Everton to take all three points. The Blues took an early lead thanks to another goal from Romelu Lukaku and despite losing Kevin Mirallas to a second yellow card in the 34th minute, they were able to […]
After the 5-1 FA Cup win over Blackburn Rovers last Sunday, Bilic made another memorable quote like he has done before. The FA Cup game was one of high standard, better than we have seen in recent weeks. After star performances by Emenike, Antonio, Moses and – not unexpectedly – Dimitri Payet, Bilic claimed the […]
